You may think this is a trivial topic. But when a multi-zillionaire
playboy pro athlete voluntarily assumes the position and becomes a
trophy wife, you know that America has collectively lost its collective
balls.
Sometimes I get sick of writing about ISIS, Islam, amnesty, and the
Presidential race. And many times discussion of other things–changing
American lifestyle cues–gives us a much bigger clue of why we are losing
America. This is one of those times.
A-Rod f/k/a Alex Rodriguez used to be a ‘roid-using, masculine Major
League Baseball player who liked to “date” (euphemism) hot blonde
actress types. Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, Madonna (okay, not hot, but
still peroxided blonde), etc.
But, now, Rodriguez, wealthier than most with a net worth of $252
million, is the new trophy wife/bimbo for ex-Mrs. Google, billionaire
Anne Wojciki, who is, well, um . . . not hot. Not super-ugly, but
nothing special. As they say, “she has a GREAT personality.” Pointing
this out is not a mere shallow, sexist, Mean Girls observation. It’s an
observation of a trend: formerly masculine men who could have anyone .
. . willingly assuming the position of the gold-digging chick. (Maybe
the ‘roid damage to a certain region was permanent?)Follow Me on Twitter . . .
And like most gold-digger chicks, A-Rod is now dating the
unattractive woman in this relationship strictly because of the size of
her wallet. That’s sad. Men used to be men. Especially pro athlete
men. No longer. If A-Rod is doing it, a ton of less wealthy men are
doing it: transforming into the chick in the relationship and dating
women for their money. He went from alpha male to beta girlfriend.
Men–The New Women. It’s never a good thing when American culture delves
deeper and deeper into the the feminizing of men and the
masculinization of women.
You know what they say about the power of the purse strings. I don’t
care what you say about the liberation of men and women in
relationships where the woman makes or has more money than the man.
Thou doth protest too much. It’s all BS. There is no such thing as
egalitarianism in romantic relationships. One party always has more
power than the other–the upper hand. And that party is almost always
the one with more money. It’s just the way it works in our society.
So, basically, A-Rod has ceded that power. He’s now the Mr. Mom to
ex-Mrs. Google. Nobody knows just how much exactly Wojciki, recent ex
of Google founder Sergey Brin, is worth. But the new divorcee is
certainly a billionaire. At the time of her divorce (which was
finalized last year), the Brins were worth about $30 billion. It’s a
good bet that she got a significant fraction of that.
Yup, A-Rod picked one of the few women in the world who would have
the power of having more money than A-Rod. That’s what a guy who’s
given up his testicles does. Or a broken man. Or a liberal wimp proud
of being a vegan Mr. Mom who knits with the LGBTQABCDEF knitting
community.
And if multi-millionaire A-Rod is willing to give up his masculinity
and being a man in exchange for the company and wallet of an
unattractive rich lady, it’ll take a lot less to lead regular guys to do
the same. Men used to “keep women.” Now, they want to be the
kept . . . and, frankly, they want to be the women. We’ll see this
more and more as economic and employment situations continue to get
worse and those of women continue to get better.
While that’s going on, ISIS and Al-Qaeda are laughing at us all the way to the next terrorist attack.
It’s not just A-Rod who eagerly gave up his balls. It’s America, too.
Hint: you never saw Bin Laden dating a chick richer than himself.
And you won’t see Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi doing that either. Just sayin’.

Yeah, it would be nice if we lived in a world where people weren’t so
vain and didn’t judge people by their looks. But we don’t. We live in
the world that is more shallow, vain, and looks-focused than ever. So,
don’t romanticize A-Rod’s relationship with this plain Jane billionaire
chick as “awww, love before looks.” That ain’t what’s happenin’ here.
A-Rod has a track record of only “dating’ (euphemism) lookers. And now
he’s playing the hooker.
